NOTE 3. Impact of Recent Accounting PronouncementsIMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------- Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Under SFAS 130, comprehensive income is divided into net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes items previously recorded directly in equity,inequity, such as unrealized gains or losses on 5 securities available for sale. Comparative financial statements provided for earlier periods have been reclassified to conform with the provisions of this Statement. SFAS 130 requires total comprehensive income and its components to be displayed on the face of a financial statement for annual financial statements. For interim financial statements, SFAS 130 requires only total comprehensive income to be reported and allows such disclosure to be presented in the notes to the interim financial statements. 5 For the three month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998 and 1997 total comprehensive income (loss) amounted to $(161,000) and $6,266,000, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income amounted to $3,706,000$7,330,000 and $3,515,000, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income amounted to $7,491,000 and $6,865,000,$13,131,000, respectively. In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" (SFAS 132). SFAS 132 revises employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans. It standardizes the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional information about changes in the benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis, and eliminates certain required disclosures of previous accounting pronouncements. SFAS 132 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is encouraged. Restatement of disclosures for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required unless the information is not readily available. As SFAS 132 affects disclosure requirements, it is not expected to have an impact on the financial statements of the Company. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.Actitivies." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 supersedes the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 80, 105 and 119. This statement is effective for periods after June 15, 1999. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. NoteIn October 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 134 "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." This Statement amends FASB Statement 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities" to require that after the securitization of mortgage loans held for sale, an entity engaged in mortgage banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed securities or other retained interests based on its ability and intent to sell or hold those investments. This Statement is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. 6 NOTE 4.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial ConditionMANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets at JuneSeptember 30, 1998 were $1.538$1.544 billion, an increase of $27.3$33.4 million, compared to $1.511 billion at December 31, 1997. Investment securities available for sale decreased by $23.6$61.9 million, to a balance of $183.8$145.5 million at JuneSeptember 30, 1998, compared to a balance of $207.4 million at December 31, 1997, and mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased by $64.8$28.2 million, to $392.3$429.0 million at JuneSeptember 30, 1998, from $457.1 million at December 31, 1997. The investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale portfolios decreased in order to fund growth in the Bank's loans receivable. Loans receivable, net, increased by $86.8$109.7 million, or 11.1%14.0%, to a balance of $870.5$893.4 million at JuneSeptember 30, 1998, compared to a balance of $783.7 million at December 31, 1997. The increase was largely attributable to robust residential loan growth (including mortgage refinance activity) in the Bank's market area, as well as commercial lending (including 7 commercial real estate) initiatives which accounted for $11.7$13.9 million of this growth. Included in the residential loan growth is $39.5$64.0 million of 30 year fixed rate30-year fixed-rate non-conforming mortgage loans which the Bank retained in portfolio, while $13.1$16.1 million of 30-year fixed ratefixed-rate mortgage loans were sold. In the past, the Bank has often sold most of this product into the secondary market. Of the loans retained, the Bank funded $29.2$58.5 million with repurchase agreements with approximate terms of three to seven years, mitigating part of the interest rate risk associated with retaining these mortgages. Total deposits at JuneSeptember 30, 1998 were $1.013$1.029 billion, an increase of $36.4$51.8 million, compared to $976.8 million at December 31, 1997. On June 29, 1998, the Company completed the purchase of $10.7 million in deposit balances from Summit Bank's Whiting, New Jersey branch, for a deposit premium of $1.0 million. Stockholders' equity at JuneSeptember 30, 1998 was $210.9$196.6 million, compared to $215.5 million at December 31, 1997. The Company repurchased 171,586948,292 shares of common stock during the first quarternine months ended September 30, 1998 for $ 3.1$16.7 million, fully completing the remainder of a 5% repurchase program announced in October 1997.1997 and another 5% repurchase program announced in July 1998. Additionally, during the second quarter of 1998, the Company loaned $8.2 million to the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP" or the "Plan") which enabled the ESOP trustee to purchase 422,500 shares of common stock. After the initial 12 year ESOP term expires in year 2008, these shares will begin to be allocated to employees covered by the Plan at which time they will be expensed by the Company. Results of Operations GeneralRESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Net income decreased to $3.2$3.3 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998 as compared to net income of $3.4$3.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1997. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998 net income decreased to $6.7$10.0 million from $6.8$10.3 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1997. Interest IncomeINTEREST INCOME Interest income for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998 was $26.2$26.5 million, compared to $24.3$25.6 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1997, an increase of $1.9 million,$926,000, or 7.9%3.6%. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, interest income was $52.4$78.9 million compared to $46.9$72.4 million for the same period in 1997, an increase of $5.6$6.5 million or 11.9%9.0%. The increases in interest income were the result of increases in the average balance of loans receivable which increased by $143.6$143.5 million and $128.4$133.5 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, a $77.0 million increase in earning assets was largely offset by a decline in the yield on earning assets which decreased to 7.11% as compared to 7.24% for the same period in 1997 due to declines in yields for loans and investment and mortgage-backed securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 the yield on earning assets remained constant at 7.12%,increased 1 basis point to 7.14% as compared to the same period in 1997 as declines in yields for loans and investments and mortgage-backedinvestment securities were offset by a shift in the asset mix from lower yielding securities to higher yielding loans receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, interest income was augmented by an increase in the yield on average interest earning assets, which improved to 7.16% on average in the first six months of 1998, from 7.07% on average in the first six months of 1997. Increased yields on mortgage-backed securities and a change in the mix of earning assets to whole loans accounted for the increased yield. Interest ExpenseINTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998 was $15.3$15.7 million, compared to $13.5$14.7 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1997, an increase of $1.8$1.0 million, or 13.3%6.8%. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998 interest expense was $30.5$46.1 million compared to $25.5$40.2 million for the same period in 1997, an increase of $4.9$5.9 million or 19.2%14.7%. The increases in interest expense were primarily the result of an increase in the average outstanding balance of total borrowings (Federal Home Loan Bank and securities sold under agreements to repurchase) which increased by $97.3$46.3 million and $137.5$106.8 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods and a smaller averagean additional increase in deposits.average interest-bearing deposits of $50.1 million and $38.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods. The increase in wholesale borrowings was part of a leverage strategy adopted in late 1996 to improve returns on invested capital. Proceeds from the borrowings were invested in mortgage loans and investment 7 and mortgage-backed securities. The average cost of interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities increaseddecreased to 4.78%4.79% for both the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, as compared to 4.71% and 4.64%, respectively,4.84% for the same prior year periods,period, due to the recent market decline in interest rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, 8 the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.79%, as compared to 4.70% for the same prior year period due to a greater percentage increase in higher cost wholesale funding over retail deposit funding. Provision for Loan LossesPROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, the Company's provision for loan losses was $225,000 and $450,000,$675,000, respectively, unchanged from the same prior year periods. The Company's non-performing assets declined by $1.8$1.4 million at JuneSeptember 30, 1998 as compared to JuneSeptember 30, 1997 allowing for stable provisions despite loan growth. Other IncomeOTHER INCOME Other income increased to $1.1 million$876,000 and $1.7$2.6 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, respectively, compared to $575,000$572,000 and $1.2$1.7 million for the same prior year periods. The increases were primarily due to $164,000 in gains recognized in the second quarter of 1998 on the sale of 30 year fixed rate30-year fixed-rate mortgage loans, which the Company periodically sells to manageas part of the management of interest rate risk. These gains amounted to $53,000 and $221,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. Additionally, deposit related fees (part of fees and service charges) increased by $121,000$129,000 and $198,000$315,000 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods, due to growth in commercial account services and retail core account balances. The Company also realized $40,000 in fee income during the third quarter of 1998 from the sale of alternative investment products, a service the Company introduced late in this year's second quarter. The growth in these fees was partly offset by reductions in loan servicing fees due to prepayments of the loans underlying the servicing portfolio. Operating ExpensesOPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses were $6.7$6.3 million and $12.7$19.0 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, representing increases of $828,000$580,000 and $1.3$1.9 million compared to the same prior year periods. The increases wereFor the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the increase was partly due to higher non-cash charges relating to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and expenses associated with the stock awards granted to directors and officers under the 1997 Incentive Plan. These non-cash charges increased by $93,000 and $361,000 forFor the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, respectively, over the same prior year periods. Additionally, marketing expense increased by $146,000$163,000 and $349,000$512,000 as the Bank aggressively promoted its new retail checking products. The Bank also opened its eleventh branch office in early April of 1998. Provision for Income TaxesPROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES Income tax expense was $1.9$1.8 million and $3.8$5.7 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, respectively, compared to $1.9$2.0 million and $3.9$5.9 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1997, respectively. The effective tax rate was relatively stable at 36.4%36.2% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998 as compared to 36.5%36.3% for the same prior year period. Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, FHLB and other borrowings and, to a lesser extent, investment maturities and proceeds from the sale of loans. While scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including an overnight line of credit and advances from the FHLB. At JuneSeptember 30, 1998, the Company had no$27.0 outstanding in overnight borrowings from the FHLB, representing a decreasean increase from $20.4 million at December 31, 1997. The Company utilizes the overnight line from time to time to fund short-term liquidity needs. The Company also borrowed $300.0$275.4 million at JuneSeptember 30, 1998 through securities sold under agreements to repurchase, an increasea decrease from $288.2 million at December 31, 1997. These borrowings were used to fund a wholesale leverage strategy designed to improve returns on invested capital. 9 The Company's cash needs for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1998, were principally provided by maturities of investment securities available for sale, principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and increased deposits, including a deposit acquisition. The cash provided was principally used for investing activities, which included the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities and the origination of loans. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1997, the cash needs of the Company were primarily satisfied by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and increased deposits. The cash was principally utilized for loan originations, and purchases of investment and mortgage-backed securities.securities and the purchase of treasury stock. Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets. The required percentage has varied from time to time based upon economic conditions and savings flows and is currently 4% of net withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less during the preceding calendar month. Liquid assets for purposes 8 of this ratio include cash, accrued interest receivable, certain time deposits, U.S. Treasury and Government agencies and other securities and obligations generally having remaining maturities of less than five years. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. As of JuneSeptember 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratios were 6.2%38.7% and 9.8%, respectively, both in excess of the minimum regulatory requirement. At JuneSeptember 30, 1998, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible capital of $178.5$164.1 million, or 11.7%10.68%, of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $23.0 million or 1.5%; core capital of $178.5$164.1 million or 11.7%10.68% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required level of $46.0$61.5 million, or 3.0%4.0%; and risk-based capital of $185.4$171.2 million, or 26.6%23.2% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $55.8$59.0 million or 8.0%. The Bank is considered a "well capitalized" institution under the Office of Thrift Supervision's prompt corrective action regulations.

10 IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 The Company has developed a formal project plan to prepare its systems, hardware, and facilities for the Year 2000. The project plan has been in place since 1997 and is designed to follow the guidelines and recommendations of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). The Year 2000 effort is being implemented by qualified personnel from areas throughout the Company. As stated in the FFIEC guidelines, the Company has created a plan consisting of five phases. The phases include awareness, assessment, renovation, validation and implementation. The awareness phase was completed with the development of a Year 2000 committee and a formal reporting and tracking process. A thorough analysis of all hardware, software, and facilities that may be effected by the turn of the century was done to complete the assessment phase. Based on this analysis, items were prioritized and the renovation effort was started. The Company primarily utilizes third-party vendors to provide processing of its mission critical systems. Vendors are being closely monitored to ensure that renovation and validation dates are met. The planned completion date for all renovations is December 31, 1998 1997 ----------- ------------- (Dollars in thousands) (Unaudited) Non-accrual loans: Real estate: One-to four-family $5,301 $5,062 Commercial real estate, multi-familywith all validation and land 354 382 Consumer 72 110 ------ ------ Total 5,727 5,554 REO, net 432 1,198 ------ ------ Total non-performing assets $6,159 $6,752 ====== ====== Non-performing loans asimplementation scheduled to be complete by June 30, 1999.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market RiskQUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of an interest rate risk (IRR) model. Based on internal IRR modeling, management does not believe that there has been a material change in the Company's interest rate sensitivity from December 31, 1997 to JuneSeptember 30, 1998. All methods used to measure interest rate sensitivity involve the use of assumptions, which may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs 11 respond to changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. 1012 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings ----------------- The Company is not engaged in any legal proceedings of a material nature at the present time. From time to time, the Company is a party to routine legal proceedings within the normal course of business. Such routine legal proceedings in the aggregate are believed by management to be immaterial to the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Item 2.
